What’s In The Bag: Lilia Vu
Last updated:
Let’s take a look at what’s in the bag of two-time Major champion Lilia Vu.
Jump To: Vu’s WITB
Before 2023, many of you may not have been too familiar with Lilia Vu, but that has all changed over the last 12 months or so. Vu’s full name is Lilia Kha-Tu Du Vu, she turned professional in 2019 following a very successful 2018 season as an amateur – she sat at No.1 for 31 weeks.
After a tough start to her professional career, with eight missed cuts from her first nine events, Vu was close to leaving the game of golf. She’s risen to World No.1 and represented USA at the 2023 Solheim Cup – Vu will be glad she persevered and found her best game at the right time.
Lilia Vu has won four times on Tour this season, picking up two Majors along the way. Vu’s first win this year came back in February, at the Honda LPGA Thailand, beating a star-studded field.
This could have been the boost she needed to help her go on to win the Chevron Championship in a play-off against fellow American Angel Yin. Vu wasn’t done yet for 2023 as she went on to claim the AIG Women’s Open in fantastic fashion, beating home-hero Charley Hull by six shots.
The California native unfortunately couldn’t add the Solheim Cup to her list of victories in 2023. However, it hasn’t taken her too long to add some silverware to her trophy cabinet. The American’s latest victory was at the LPGA Tour’s penultimate event of the year, The 2023 ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican.
Let’s take a look at what the former World No.1 has been using to help her achieve such greatness and propelled her to the top of the game.
What’s In The Bag: Lilia Vu
What driver does Lilia Vu use?

What fairway woods does Lilia Vu have in the bag?
Lilia Vu has two Callaway Apex (UW) Utility Woods (15° & 21°) with Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6 S shaft
Vu has two fairway woods rather than having a fairway wood and utility club (hybrid or driving iron) - it obviously suits her game because she has found a winning formula this season.

What irons does Lilia Vu use?
Lilia Vu has one solitary Srixon Z585 4 iron with a KBS Tour shaft
This model is no longer available, but the newest Srixon equivalent is a brilliant alternative. The Srixon ZX7 Mk II irons make up the rest of Vu's iron set and they are also in the bag of Carlota Ciganda, but the more forgiving ZX5 Mk II are closest to Vu's Z585 iron.

Lilia Vu has a full set of Srixon ZX7 MkII 5-AW irons with KBS Tour shafts

What putter does Lilia Vu have in the bag?
Lilia Vu carries a Titleist Scotty Cameron GoLo 5 Putter in the bag
Her GoLo 5 putter is blacked out with a bright pink grip that matches her bag. Sadly, this putter is no longer available but the GoLo 6 is very similar.
